Dear In-Shape,

I have two health questions for you. I'm an athlete. I play baseball
for my university team, and I go running every day.I exercise
all the time. I think I m in terrific shape, but I'm worried that
I exercise too much. Thatt my first question-how much exercise is
too much?
My second question is about my diet. I try to eat healthy.
I hardly ever eat pizza, fest food, or other snacks. I never drink
soft drinks. But I have one really bad habit: I have a sweet tooth!
I eat too much chocolate, candy, cake, and ice cream. How can
I cut down on sweets?

Dear In-Shape,

I need some exercise advice! I dont feel very healthy. I get tired just
walking from my house to my car! My doctor said that I have to exercise
more. I'm sure that shet right. I should get out of the house more
often. My husband goes running every day, but I never go running
with him. I'm a couch potato. My big activiry is watching
movies-I watch a movie just about every night. Unforunateh
you don't burn many calories watching TV!

By the way, the problem is not my diet. I generally try to


eat foods that are good for me, like fish, vegetables, and fruit.
I avoid snacks, and I almost never eat sweets!

Bargaining Customs around the World
Bargaining customs are very different around the world. Few would go shopping in
another country without knowing the exchange rate. However, many travelers don't
learn anything about the local shopping customs of the place they are visiting before
spending money. Understanding when it's OKto bargain can saveyou a lotof money
and make your shopping experience much more enjoyable.

ln some countries, bargaining is an important part of the shopping culture. ln


others, bargaining is not done at all. Here's a bargainrng guide for some countries
around the world:

Morocco: Bargaining is always expected in the shopping markets. Here bargaining is


more than just getting the best price. lf you go into a shop and agree to the first price
a seller offers, the seller may not be happy. For Moroccans, bargaining is a form of
entertainment; it's a game of skill, a little bit of acting, and it's a chance to chat about
the weather, business, and family. So be sure to have fun and try to get a better pricel

New York City: Bargaining is not the custom here. Shop


clerks can almost never give you a lower price. However,
some hotels may give you a lower rate during the less
popular times of year. lt can't hurt to ask.

Tahitir Bargaining is not appropriate in the South Pacific. ln


fact, it is considered disrespectful to ask for a better price.
ln the food markets, sellers will even take their fruits and
vegetables back home with them, rather than give a discount!
